I asked ChatGPT to summarize the article as Anki cards. I thought it did a good enough job to share, but prefer to use my memory for processes rather than facts; while it has its uses, training a skill with Anki may cause the human equivalent of overfitting.

What type of memory is virtually limitless? Long-term memory

What is the main bottleneck between working memory and long-term memory? The speed at which we can move memories from the working memory to storage

What is a "schema" in the context of long-term memory? A pattern of knowledge stored in our long-term memory that gives our thinking depth and understanding

What happens to a long-term memory when we bring it back into working memory? The memory evolves and forms new connections, updating the living schema

What is Anki commonly used for? Rote learning and memorization

How much time does it take daily to maintain a database of 10,000 Anki cards? 15-20 minutes

What are Michael Nielsen's rules of thumb for whether to Anki-fy something? First, if memorizing a fact seems worth 10 minutes of future time, and second, if a fact seems striking, regardless of whether it seems worth 10 minutes of future time or not.

Can Anki be used to understand complex concepts, such as those in research papers? Yes, by breaking down the concepts into basic questions and building up knowledge through multiple re-reads and increasingly complex questions.
